Biblical Authority

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 23, 2007

This sermon is from a Southern Baptist point of view concerning biblical authority. Even among Southern Baptists there is not complete agreement on the authority of Scripture. My point of view comes from my belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

For Every Rule, There Are Always Exceptions

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 14, 2015
